I really like the look of this console.  Different colour schemes would be welcomed.  Maybe after 2-3 years I'll be able to afford to buy one, by which time I would hope the console also contains many more exclusive games.

I started playing again this morning and yes, I'm terrible  I normally run with Terran but I'm going to give Protoss a try see if I can make anything happen.

I have an issue with expanding early or upgrading the Command Centre, so hopefully with some practice it can help make me better. Everytime I play with a mate, he's always a head of me in the amount of armies, not the areaeof the maps that we've both expanded too.

Difficult game but can be very fun to play.

I'll be playing it loads once my new laptop is shipped.

Are you a big SC fan? I'm downloading again now and then we'll see how bad I perform.  Online has always been intimidating for me on this game, I've mostly played SP as then I don't tend to have my butt kicked  .

Well I probably wouldn't class myself as a fan as I don't play the game very often. I like the game, it's fun but also very challenging.

The micromanagement is one aspect of RTS games that I still haven't grasped properly. I'm thinking about reinstalling this as I know someone else who plays and he keeps asking to fight me  .

can it be someone else's history and not ours? say the entities around about 13.9 billion years ago just before the creation of our universe and what they saw; how interesting would that be!

Haha, if any entities existed before the creation of our universe! Although, I feel like the entire subject of space and our existence can warrant a thread on its own  .  Personally I like the idea that our universe is like a bubble in a massive sea of other bubbles containing many many more universes.

The mention of ROME: Total War was more to do with the setting.  History as in something that has played out on Earth in the past.  Many things in history has defined who we are today and how we live our lives.

Is that the clothing? What types do you like? I've never really looked into this.

Is there any specific time in history that peaks your interests? It could be Jurassic period, Ancient Egypt, World Wars. We've had a lot of history over the years and I'm sure you will find some of it interesting, so which is it?

For myself, as much as I'm interested in World War 2, my main interest would have to lie with the Roman times.  I'm not all that well educated about these times though but I'm always willing to learn something new.  I'm currently reading a book written by Mary Beard called 'SPQR'.  It's covering some of the early Roman times at the start of the book and already provided me with some names I would like to research more, like Marcus Tullius Cicero and Lucius Sergius Catilina.

And as a gamer, it wouldn't be right without delving into the vast amount of games available on a specific subject. Whether it's accurate or not doesn't really matter, it's the theme that counts  so one of the series I enjoy playing is ROME: Total War.

Porridge
Spaced
Game of Thrones
Band of Brothers (can't include Pacific as I still haven't managed to get into it)
Stranger Things
Lost
The Walking Dead
Peaky Blinders
Shameless
Early Edition

I'm missing many more at the moment but these are some of my favourites.

Didn't see one of these but it's mandatory for every forum to have one

Streets of Rage 4
World of Soccer - most nights
MotoGP20
Thief Gold

I like the new look of the site, it looks fresh and something that was much needed.

Anyway hey again, I don't know how much I'll post but I'll be around.   I've moved away from consoles for the most part now and you'll mostly find me on PC, I actually use my PS3 more than my PS4 at the moment, I've started playing Fight Night Champion on a morning when I wake up.

I remember when we had little Trials competitions (I believe it was Trials Fusion?), something which could be played in your own time but gave everyone a good challenge.  Maybe we can get something like that going again?

Anyone can also feel free to add me on Steam or any other platforms, my username is same in all locations: Spacedeck
